Re: SP Minnow Modifications for Stripers

IMHO that modification is good for big striper which hit the lure without hesitation and strong.
Halibut usually bite from the tail and tail hook in that case highly desirable. Though halibut seldom biting top water lure.

Re: SP Minnow Modifications for Stripers

I was out in Pacifica today fishing a new SP I just picked up. (Green top w/ clear body). I landed one shaker but I lost two fish and it's just bugging me; I'm wondering if I should try to modify the lure for better hooksets. The only thing I worry about is that this video is from an East Coaster I think, and their stripers are generally much larger, so I don't know if the mod would work well here. Would love to hear your guys thoughts or advice on this!

I always upgrade them with VMC hooks as well as the split rings, the stock hooks will bend if you hook a big one.
